Bai Tang sent the completed "Snow After Clear Skies, Hibiscus Blooming" to Yuan Mingyi's mobile phone and returned to her bed. She took out her portable Game Helmet and entered the game. In the game, Bai Tang had reached level thirty. She thought about the main quest given to her by Zhong Wei and Ma Congyun and decided to take a chance.
The Open-Minded Beast was a level one hundred Big Boss, and Bai Tang was not even enough to fill its gaps with offerings. Of course, Bai Tang did not intend to fight it; instead, she packed a backpack full of delicious food to win over the great beast. Although the Open-Minded Beast was not a glutton, it loved good food, so its attitude towards Bai Tang was very friendly. When Bai Tang asked how to open the portal between the realms, the Open-Minded Beast readily told her that if she helped it find Lu Ya and brought Lu Ya to see it, it would help her open the portal.
Anyone who has read "Investiture of the Gods" knows that Lu Ya is quite a formidable character. With a single "please turn around" flying knife, he has killed countless people, including Su Daji. Lu Ya also used a nail-headed book to secretly kill Zhao Gongming, who was helpless against him even with twelve Golden Immortals. His escape speed is top-notch; he is a figure who comes and goes without a trace in the Investiture of the Gods. As for his background, Lu Ya is originally the Sun Fire Spirit and is the son of Yao Huang Di Jun, making him the prince of the demon clan. When Hou Yi shot down the suns, he was the only one who survived among ten suns. After the Lich War, Lu Ya secluded himself in West Kunlun to cultivate and must have met the Open-Minded Beast during that time.
Bai Tang dizzily descended from the mountain. Lu Wu's human form was so handsome that even she, accustomed to beautiful people, couldn't handle it. If there were any oblivious players teaming up to hunt Lu Wu, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger; just his appearance alone could cause those players to respawn.
The ending of "Investiture of the Gods" does not clarify where Lu Ya went after all; since Lu Wu did not return to Kunlun, where could he be? Bai Tang pondered for a moment and contacted Circle Puff. Due to their shared love for food, Bai Tang and Circle Puff became friends. Circle Puff had joined Overseas Penglai Fairy Island, and Bai Tang wanted her to gather information about Fusang Island on the fairy island, promising her twenty portions of food she made. Upon hearing this promise, Circle Puff's mouth watered as she eagerly set off to gather information and indeed found some clues. With these clues, they located Fusang Island and saw the Divine Tree of Fusang bathed in golden light. Among its ten exquisite bird nests at the treetop, nine were empty, with only one cradling a sleeping Golden Crow.
How could they wake up a divine bird that might have been asleep for thousands of years and could sleep for thousands more? The two thought of many methods but could not awaken the Golden Crow. Circle Puff took out some Hanging Frost Meat Strips from her backpack to eat and regain stamina; neither noticed that the Golden Crow's eyelids twitched. Sitting back-to-back, Bai Tang also took out some honey-glazed char siu and slowly began eating. She never knew waking someone up could be such an exhausting task.
"What are you eating? Is it good?" A pleasant voice suddenly rang in their ears.
Startled, both looked up toward the source of the voice. At that moment, Circle Puff froze in place, even dropping her favorite Hanging Frost Meat Strips on the ground without reacting. It was a very handsome man, comparable to Lu Wu, whose gaze fell upon the Hanging Frost Meat Strips on the grass with a look of regret on his face.
Having experienced Lu Wu's stunning looks before, Bai Tang only gasped slightly before regaining her composure. Her gaze shifted back to the bird nest on the Fusang Tree; indeed, there were no birds there anymore.
"What I have in my hand is honey-glazed char siu; what fell on the ground is Hanging Frost Meat Strips. I have other food in my backpack; would you like some?"
Indeed, friends who love food are also foodies themselves; their method for waking up Lu Ya turned out to be food?! Bai Tang took out a large amount of food and gained Lu Ya's favor before explaining why Lu Wu had sent her to find him. Upon hearing Lu Wu's name, Lu Ya's expression softened considerably.
"After the Investiture of Gods war back then, I wanted to return home for a visit; who knew I would sleep for a thousand years? It made Lu Wu worry about me. I will return with you to Kunlun now."
Kunlun Mountain, also known as Kunlun Void, China's First Sacred Mountain, Mount of All Ancestors, Kunlun Hill, or Jade Mountain, stretches from the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau, traversing between Xinjiang and Tibet, extending into Qinghai, with a total length of about two thousand five hundred kilometers and an average altitude of five to six thousand meters. Kunlun Mountain holds a prominent position in the cultural history of the Chinese nation, regarded by ancient people as the "ancestor of all mountains" and the "ancestor of the dragon vein" in China. In the realms of fantasy and martial arts, Kunlun Mountain serves as the residence for various sects of immortals and martial artists. In reality, there is indeed a Kunlun Sect on Kunlun Mountain. This Martial Arts Conference is hosted by the Kunlun Sect.
Bai Tang and Bai Dad followed Yuan Mingyi deeper into the Kunlun Mountain range. The journey was quite difficult, involving climbing mountains and descending cliffs. Although Bai Dad's body had been modified to be like that of a young person, it was still not as accustomed to such strenuous activities as Lin Wenbin. Fortunately, with Bai Tang's assistance, Bai Dad managed to keep up.
They finally reached their destination, a valley where the Kunlun Sect is located. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the valley kept out the cold, creating a warm spring-like atmosphere inside. Exotic flowers and plants adorned the valley beautifully. There was a clear spring in the valley; although it could not compare to the so-called "largest unfrozen spring," Kunlun Spring, its water was even clearer and sweeter.
After introducing Bai Family father and daughter to their friends, Yuan Mingyi and Lin Wenbin got busy. The Martial Arts Conference involved more than just exchanging martial arts; many matters concerning personal interests needed negotiation and resolution—issues that scattered practitioners like Bai Family father and daughter could not participate in. However, they did not mind being left behind by Lin Wenbin; Bai Dad made many like-minded friends and exchanged martial arts skills with other scattered practitioners, making his experience fulfilling. Bai Tang found it somewhat boring; the reality of the Martial Arts Conference was nothing like what was portrayed on television. Although there were many people present, those so-called young masters from prestigious sects looked down on scattered practitioners and were reluctant to engage with Bai Tang. She decided to rent a stall at a temporary market to sell embroidered handkerchiefs and other goods—she would never sell Peiyuan Pills or any items that could help martial artists enhance their skills.
In the evening, Bai Dad took his daughter to visit an elder. Luo Gui's sect had some connections with Bai Dad's sect; during their conversation, they discovered this relationship. Accompanying Luo Gui to the Martial Arts Conference was his master uncle Zhang Hua. Although Zhang Hua was about the same age as Bai Dad, he held a higher status, so Bai Dad naturally went to pay his respects. Upon seeing Bai Family father and daughter, Zhang Hua was very pleased and began recounting heroic tales from their youth involving Master Tang and Master Ye. In their younger days, Master Tang and Master Ye became friends through significant encounters during a time when Mud Demons invaded Huaxia; passionate martial artists joined the resistance against them. Master Tang and Master Ye participated in extermination teams that successfully eliminated many traitors and Mud Demons. Their names alone would instill fear in traitors and Mud Demons alike, with bounties exceeding ten gold bars on their heads—a staggering sum in that era.
The first match took place between disciples from Changbai Qiansimen and Shaolin; one relied on softness while the other showcased strength. The Shaolin disciple demonstrated immense power with over twenty punches landing on the Qiansimen disciple. The Qiansimen disciple used soft techniques to absorb the force but ultimately succumbed to pain after numerous exchanges.
Yuan Mingyi was up next in the second match against a Huashan Disciple. As soon as the referee called for the start, the Huashan Disciple launched three swift attacks: first came "Meteor Chasing Moon," targeting Yuan Mingyi's face; second was "Clouds Emerging from Valleys," sweeping horizontally; third was "Autumn Winds Blowing Leaves," sweeping low. These three moves were signature techniques of Huashan Swordsmanship—each one faster than the last—captivating everyone watching.
Yuan Mingyi remained calm under pressure; he struck his opponent's sword tip with his longsword while simultaneously delivering a palm strike aimed at hitting a vital point on his opponent's hand. The Huashan Disciple quickly turned around to absorb Yuan Mingyi's palm strike with his back before countering with a sword thrust towards Yuan Mingyi's knee. Yuan Mingyi swiftly employed lightness techniques to leap upward while simultaneously thrusting his sword toward his opponent's rear.
In subsequent matches three and four, Bai Tang watched with great interest; although these battles lacked special effects compared to television portrayals, they were far more engaging than international kickboxing or free fighting competitions. At thrilling moments, she couldn't help but applaud without realizing someone had already set their sights on her.
The matches for young practitioners continued for two rounds before concluding with half reserved for settling personal grievances among them. Those dissatisfied with rankings or holding personal grudges could challenge each other under one condition: no fatalities were allowed—serious injuries should be avoided as much as possible!
"I want to challenge that person!" a young practitioner pointed decisively.
"What?" Bai Tang exclaimed, staring in shock at the Young Person on stage. "Me? Are you sure you're pointing at the right person?"
"Yes, it's you. I challenge you! If you lose, you'll leave Dongshan Sect and join my Tang Sect," the Young Person declared proudly.
"What’s going on?" Bai Tang turned to ask Yuan Mingyi beside her. She was certain she was an innocent bystander, and the root of this situation lay with the person next to her.
"He's Tang Minglang from the Tang Sect of Shu Region. The Tang Sect and Dongshan Sect are relatively close, you know what I mean!" Yuan Mingyi said apologetically.
I really don’t understand!
